      Threepence by convention is a pre-decimalisation term and refers to 3 old P.  There were 240 old pence to the £, so at todays exchange rate $1,000 is the equivalent of 146,400 old pence (roughly 😉 ;D)

        @ArnoldLayne:

        But yeah 25 quid is mad for a pair of socks.

        Each to their own.  Most people would think that spending >USD100 for a pair of jeans is mad.  I would not spend threepence on a golf bat, but I'd happily spend USD1,000 on a fishing rod….

        And I couldn't bring myself to part with that for a rod, but others might not wrap that kind of money up in a single guitar. I think this is a solid point, and even a bit funny that the comparisons need to be made here. We all are likely to have a expensive fetish outside of clothing, and despite having this one in common, many would look across the table scratching their heads at others.

          I wear my socks with boots so there's no vis… All I want is quality, something that lasts... The TFA socks deteriorated much too quickly to justify the price. So let's see how these 2.9 € Uniqlo socks hold up ey  😉

            I'm still on the hunt for the perfect socks… Agree with seul, I think I mainly want something comfortable and durable now. Tfa is wack, wish I didn't have so many

              6am and I am talking to you about socks? I need another hobby 😉 Seriously, in that case I would likely just buy decent boot socks(hello Wigwam)

                    "testing" these suckers today…first impression: really nice, holding up pretty well and feeling comfy from the start!

                    I got those in the opposite colourway - blue with orange stripes - and wish i had those ones too. They're standing up really well so far. On the £25 argument, I got a pair of Superior Labour socks for that much. Worn them a lot less than the Anonymous-Ism pair and they've developed holes already. I have no problem paying for quality goods, but I expect the quality to match the price.

                      wigwam socks have served me well.  Made in the US and under $15 a pair for even their 'fancier' cool wool ones.

                              Yes. Pretty much the only socks i wear.  Even in uniform…

                                Just bought a stack of Icebreaker socks that were on sale.  The merino blend is fantastic to wear and surprisingly durable too.

                                  There is a lady out of the UK that makes some pretty cool Merino wool socks….

                                  I guess she makes them on the really old sock machines that are hand cranked.
                                  Sort of like these:

                                  These things almost look like primitive loop wheel machines…

                                  Here is her shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/footfetishsocks?section_id=14739217&page=1 (Don’t mind the name…...)

                                          Picked up some smartwool socks, going on reviews they were meant to be really good but I find them pretty average (falling down constantly) Looking for some nice thick socks with a flat toe seam, any recommendations?
